Efficiency Arizona can help eligible Arizona homeowners explore rebate support for qualifying heat pump upgrades, but the order of steps matters.
The most important rule is simple: customers should start with the official Efficiency Arizona eligibility and application flow before moving forward with project work.
Approval comes first
Completed projects are not eligible for retroactive rebate support. That means homeowners should not replace equipment first and then try to apply afterward.
Start with the official screening tool, review the eligibility requirements, and follow the program process before scheduling installation work.
What homeowners should know
Rebate amounts are income and eligibility based. The program may offer up to $14,000 per household, with heat pump rebates up to $8,000 where requirements are met.
Rebates may not cover the full project cost. Under the current program rules, some less-efficient existing heat pumps may qualify for replacement with a more efficient eligible model.

How Certified Air Services AZ can help
Certified Air Services AZ can help homeowners understand HVAC options after the official eligibility and approval process is underway.
The best path is to complete the program screening first, then talk with the Arizona office about eligible heat pump replacement options for your home and climate.
Check the equipment rule as well as household eligibility
The current heat-pump measure can cover qualifying replacement of electric heating or a less-efficient heat pump, or an eligible addition while an existing system remains. Replacing a fossil-fuel HVAC system is not allowed under this measure. Insulation and air sealing may also be required.
Use the official product requirements and eligibility guidance for the current rules. The program determines approval and the rebate; a contractor estimate or this website is not an eligibility decision.
Keep documents in the official application process
Provide income and eligibility documents only through the program’s approved channels. Certified Air Services’ website request form is for HVAC questions and scheduling; it is not the program application. Once approved, follow your case manager’s direction before arranging installation.
